I been working in chennai for the past 2 years. Me was under the exact impression that the author expressed above, when i landed in chennai. The other side of story is Chennaites do want to preserve their rich traditional background coming from their predecessors. Having stayed in Bangalore where ppl are accustomed to free life without restrictions from parents and thinking that is the "freedom" , Chennai will give a taste of indian culture under the guidance of parents. I want to question the author how much will he support his kin/daughter going with a stranger to a pub, a scenario which is discussed in the article. will he be able to welcome this?? I am afraid if he does so. Chenni is long known for following traditions. Wont the Big Brother in him, come out?? I feel u have to stay in this environment also when you are boasting abt indian culture.
